Clear screen

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how do I get java to clear the
screen.

I know there is a cls; command in C but I cant find one for Java.

Thanks
Jacqui

There is no such function in Java. Java is platform-independant, and
consider:
Some platforms might not even have such a function in their libraries.

That being said, you can use your cls function (which i assure you, is not
part of standard C either) by JNI. However, you lose platform independance
when you do that, and you (usally, unless the User explicitly allows) can
not use such code from Applets.

Of course, you can just print a few dozen newlines, but i guess that is
not what you wanted to do ;)

See you
Stefan
